    I Looked at a GA Precision Rifle Yesterday...

    ...that one of the guys at my LGS had gotten three weeks ago. I was struck by the obvious quality of workmanship, attention to detail and overall excellence of the build. The rifle was a Thunder Ranch model, built on a Templar action. I was thinking a TRG-22 for my next rifle; now I'm rethinking...

    Rifle Scopes Recommended tool for general torquing of scope/rifle?

    I use a Wheeler FAT wrench. I have used Leupy bases and rings, both STD and dual dovetail models. Leupold gives torque specs for all screws on the package. I used 60 inch-pounds for my action screws in setting up my medalist stocks, though I glass bedded the actions in each. FH

    Rifle Scopes Scope Recommendations

    My Rem 700 SPS-Varmint in .308 Win is an ongoing project. It is an excellent shooter. I recently put a Vortex Viper PST 6-24x50 FFP MOA/MOA on the rifle, using my existing Leupy STD bases and switching to STD 30mm Medium Rings. The scope mounts nice and low in this set-up. I have the action...

    .260 Remington Build by Southwest Precision - UPDATE: Load Development

    Very cool! Enjoy the shooting and the hunts...and were it not for our very questionable state Government, I would love it here too. Cheers, Harry, 5,775' below you down by Parker

    A Pretty Fair Rifle and Handloads

    I recently put a new scope on a lightly modded rifle I am setting up for precision shooting. The scope is a Vortex Viper PST 6-24x50 FFP mounted on Leupy STD bases and rings. I brought it over to the local range yesterday to finish sighting it in. The rifle is a Rem 700 SPS-Varmint, glass-bedded...

    Rifle Scopes Recommended scope bases for Remington 700 5Rs

    As I noted in another thread, I have had good success with Leupy STD bases and STD rings. They make Rem 700 bases in both 1- and 2-piece configurations. For distances up to 800 yards, they'll do just fine and you can get the bases and rings for less than $60 all in. FH

    Rifle Scopes eye protection

    You can have custom glasses made with plain lenses (aka plano lenses) using as high quality glass or plastic as you wish. I use a number of different shooting glasses ranging from prescription 58mm Ray-Bans in Rose Copper to ESS customs with multiple eyeshields and custom lenses. If you're...

    Rifle Scopes Need a 1 piece base for my Win model70 (Long Action)

    I have a Win M70 EW in 7mm RM. I use 2 piece Leupy STD bases and rings to mount my Zeiss Conquest 3.5-10x44. Works perfectly. Indeed, one of the things I like about the Leupy STD base/ring combo is the ability to adjust windage with the base set screws so I can sight in with windage left at...

    5R in .308 which stock

    I don't recall but I'm sure the B&C website will have the weight. The whole rifle/scope combo is >15 lbs...it's a range queen. My next rifle will have a shorter barrel and lighter chassis. Cheers, FH

    5R in .308 which stock

    I've got a B&C A5 that I like but it's not light. You might look at an AI chassis...and you get detachable bottom metal too. FH

    Rifle Scopes Need help with scope for my Remington 700P .308

    I ordered the Vortex Viper PST 6-24 FFP MOA/MOA. MOA or MIL is a personal choice but either will give you a great scope. FH

    Rifle Scopes Help me make a scope purchase..

    I recently put the Vortex Viper PST 6-24x50 FFP MOA/MOA on my Rem 700 SPS-V. It has been a great add with all features working as advertised. With useful 20 MOA rail and rings you'll be under budget by a bit. I may step up in my next rifle but, for the moment, this is all I'll need. I recommend...

    bought a 700 today

    I glass-bedded my 700SPS-Varmint (26" heavy barrel) in a Bell & Carlson A5 stock and mounted a Viper PST 6-24x50 FFP using Leupold STD bases and Leupy medium 30mm rings. So far, its a consistent 0.5-0.6 MOA shooter with my hand loads (42.0gr Reloder 15 under a 168gr SMK or 44.5gr of VV N550...

    Rifle Scopes scope still not in..

    Not having done business with SWFA, I have no opinion on the matter. There are, however, reliable vendors supporting this forum and others in the firearms industry who are totally reliable. I just received my perfectly-functioning Vortex Viper PST 6-24 FFP MOA/MOA a week earlier than promised...

    Rifle Scopes Suggested site sponsor?

    I mounted my 6-24x50 FFP Viper PST with Leupy STD bases and Leupy MEDIUM STD 30 mm rings.You get just enough clearance with a "Varmint" profile bull barrel to get the scope covers on and a nice low set-up for useful cheek weld. The advantage of the STD bases/rings is that you can get the scope...

    Rifle Scopes Vortex Viper PST 6-24x50

    I received my scope yesterday, mounted it and bore sighted it and took it to the range today. First shot at 50 yards, 4" high and centered (I had worked on the Leupy STD bases to get windage right through set screw adjustments while keeping the scope set at mechanical zero and, in fact, lucked...

    Rifle Scopes Vortex Viper PST 6-24x50

    My delivery date for this scope is March 20. Will post range report as soon as possible thereafter. Am using existing Leupold STD bases with medium rings while figuring out Seekins Precision 20 MOA Pic rail and rings. Stay tuned for results, and, Best regards, FH

    Rifle Scopes Vortex Viper PST 6-24x50

    I just ordered one of these in FFP w/ MOA (all my hunting rifles are MOA so I decided not to change so I'll have only one approach working for me) for my Rem 700 SPS-V, currently glass-bedded in a B&C A5. I'm going to be ordering Seekins rail and med. high rings for this rifle but will at least...

    Rifle Scopes QD Mounts on bolt guns?

    I have Leupold QR Bases and Rings on my .375 H&H Mag...I also run two scopes for that rifle: a 1.5-6x24 when I'm thinking Brown Bear and a 3-9x40 when I'm planning Elk. Also, I may decide to ditch a scope (the rifle has good irons)...hence the QR mount. My Leupy set-up has a good return to zero...

    Rifle Scopes Zeiss Conquest HD5 Riflescope Press Release

    I have Zeiss scopes on all but my compact Rugers. I have 5, 4 with RapidZ reticles. I find them superb hunting scopes as is my Z-plex on my .375 H&H. I have a Leupy 3.5-10x40 with duplex on an M1A because I wanted to be able to rotate wind age knob out of the way if it hit the knob with ejected...
